If you run your rig with a bad knock sensor the computer will not be able to tell if or when your engine starts to knock (such as a rod knocking). That is if it isn't already cause the sensor is there for insurance. Make sure the sensor is bad and if so have it replaced asap. It is an expensive job cause you have to remove the intake to get to them (some engines have two under the intake). willyray3

Will a bad knock sensor make your cooling fans stay on?
A faulty knock sensor is unlikely to directly cause your cooling fans to stay on. The knock sensor primarily detects engine knock or pinging to adjust ignition timing, while cooling fan operation is typically controlled by the engine's temperature sensors and the engine control unit (ECU). However, if the knock sensor is causing the engine to run inefficiently or overheating, it could indirectly lead to the cooling fans running more frequently. It's best to diagnose the cooling system separately to identify the actual cause.
